Dear Friend: 

This Book of Homes is placed in your hands with 
the trust that you will let-it prove helpful to you. 

Its aim throughout is to assist you in choosing a 
true home—that may be built quickly, staunchly, 
economically, attractively. 

The following pages of the book are carefully 
planned to logically present that information that you, 
as a home-builder, need to consider. Each page, each 
paragraph, conveys information of vital interest. 

But our assistance to you simply begins with this 
book. There is much to be said of tremendous value, 
about each separate house. It is impossible to include 
this information here. 

Therefore, we ask that you let us get in more inti- 
mate touch with you. Write us which house you like 
particularly and we will immediately send you complete 
details. Feel free to ask any number of questions. Let 
us prove to you the meaning of true service—that 


which Bennett gives in building Better-Built, Ready- 
Cut Homes. 


Anticipating with pleasure an early reply, we are 
Cordially yours, 
Ray H. Bennett LuMBER Co., Inc:

“HIS book is the story, in word and picture, of actual homes 
proven by living people to be Beautiful, Practical, Sub- 
stantial. @ The designs and plans are the final creations, 

after years of study and experience, of Foremost American 

Authorities on Home Architecture and Construction. @ Econ- 

omy is the controlling thought in these plans—not economy 

that merely cheapens but that which eliminates all unnecessary 
costs without sacrifice of appearance, strength or utility. 

@ Bennett Homes are truly Better-Built—better to look at, 

better to live in and better to last.

“‘Home-keeping hearts are happiest; 
For those who wander they know not where 
Are full of trouble and full of care; 
To stay at home is best.’’ 
—LONGFELLOW 


The first home was purposely built beside the “‘Sacred Fire’’. 


The story runs that fire came as a gift from the Gods to Man. And so heavenly 
seemed its qualities of beauty, light and warmth, that Man reverenced it—ceased 
wandering and built his abode around its glowing radiance. 

Through the ages—from the rugged cave, the rough tent of animal skins, the crude 
log cabin, down to the Home Beautiful of To-day—home building has been the 
strong primal instinct. Men have practiced all the pursuits of peace and war for 
those things for which home stands—love, family, hospitality, security, worship. 
Indeed, the home building spirit is the very backbone of civilization. Intelligent, 
thoughtful men always desire their families to live the home life, because they 
know that the best of physical, mental and moral powers are developed under home’s 
benign influence. 

Almost the first thought of the Pilgrims after they had landed on America’s new 
shores was of a home. And so immediately they built themselves sturdy houses 
of the straight-shafted pine trees that stood everywhere about the rugged shores. 
And some of these homes are still standing, amazing testimony to the vigor and 
endurance of wood. 


‘Today, more than ever before, people are seriously considering how they shall 
live. ‘They realize that the dwelling place has a marked influence upon living and 
character—that the inspiration of home, next to religion, is the greatest in life. 
Perforce, many must live part of their lives in the rented house. But however 
desirable, no family can ever acquire quite that deep-seated love and interest for, 
nor have the incentive to adorn and beautify, a dwelling place for which they pay 
toll to a landlord. But when the place which shelters the family belongs to them, 
when they know that every thought and every dollar they put into it is a permanent 
investment which pays big dividends in the family happiness and contentment— 
then that place, however lowly or humble, becomes truly a home. Naturally then, 
the tendency is strongly toward the owned private home. 

The dainty cottage—the inviting semi-bungalow—the comfortable Colonial—the 
cosy story-and-a-half—these are the leading types of homes to-day. And when 
there is built into them that particular beauty, and those conveniences—modern 
sanitation, lighting, ventilation and heating—that will suit the taste of the indi- 
vidual family, their mode of living and their pocketbook—then indeed does the 
dwelling place become “‘a thing of beauty and a joy forever’’. 

Bennett Homes, Better-Built and Ready-Cut, satisfy every desire and every need 
of home-lovers—for the dwelling-place which shall possess charm, convenience 
and endurance to the greatest extent consistent with the desired investment.

A Better-Built idea—routing (instead of cleating) stair-stringers 
for fine workmanship, and accurate fit. 


HOW SCIENCE SOLVED THE HIGH COST 
OF HOME-BUILDING 


Up to the present, the great drawback to home-building 
has been the excessive cost, by the individually-built-house 
method. 


Plans by experienced architects have been costly; the 
cost of lumber has been high; the amount of labor necessary 
to cut and trim rough and finished lumber has been a serious 
item; there have been endless worries—delays—extra costs; 
plans have looked good on paper, but have not worked out 
well; contractors have been known to be careless about the 
quality of the material and of the work on the job. 


What will avoid all the usual waste, delays, disappoint- 
ments, and—what will cut the cost of building a home? 
Science says—“‘simplify’—“standardize”—“eliminate waste.” 


“This is the day of brains that plans for thousands at a 
time, instead of one. Why is it necessary to plan every 
individual home that is built? There’s a wiser, more 
economical way. Once the plan for a house has been tried 
and proven true, use it many times over; let hundreds of 
people divide the cost—let hundreds of people reap the 
benefit of these plans.” 


“This is the day of machinery, the day for producing in 
tremendous quantities, thereby accomplishing in minutes 
that which would consume hours, days and weeks to achieve 
by usual methods. After having worked out plans to the 
highest point of economy, why not cut the materials by labor- 
saving machines instead of the old hand method, thereby 
reducing labor and waste to a minimum.” 


ALL CHANCES FOR ERRORS AS TO 


QUANTITY SAN DSO UAL Ye A Re 
ELIMINATED BY PURCHASING ALL 


MATERIALS AT A STATED PRICE FROM 
ONE COMPANY—FROM BENNETT. 


SCIENCE’S ANSWER IS THE 
BENNETT-WAY 


The best designs and plans have been produced for 
hundreds to share the benefits—a huge modern mill in the 
heart of the lumber market has been equipped with labor- 
and-waste-saving machinery of the latest type—and YOU, 
who want to build a home, reap the advantages and savings 
of the Bennett-Way in securing one of finer design, greater 
convenience, and genuine durability. 


Perhaps right here, it is well to establish the difference 
between a Bennett Ready-Cut Home and a portable house. 


The object of the portable system is to produce a building 
construction which may be put together to form a temporary 
shelter—taken apart again—moved from place to place as 
desired. Manufacturers of portable buildings cannot and do 
not represent their products to be permanent. 


But Bennett Homes, Better-Built and Ready-Cut, are 
builtfor permanency. Once your Bennett Home is completed, 
there is absolutely no difference between it and any well con- 
structed home, except, perhaps, that our designs are more 
attractive and impressive than the average homes one sees.

3 ATTRACTIVE DESIGNS 


There are more than fifty designs and plans offered on 
the following pages. They have been carefully and expertly 
selected from hundreds submitted. These designs are not 
merely dreams of architects or artists. They are actual 
houses which have been built, lived in and proven practical 
and pleasurable in every detail. In considering a BENNETT 
BETTER-BUILT HOME, you are offered a very wide 
selection of various styles and sizes, so that you may choose 
a home that will suit your particular needs, tastes, locality, 
and pocketbook. 


In building the Bennett Way you have this genuine 
advantage—you know, before you build, just exactly how 
your home will look after it is completed. Do you know that 
when your local architect or contractor designs your home 
for you? He may convince you that his design is what you 
want, and induce you to accept it, even against your own 
better judgment. Though you may not be pleased with the 
design he has prepared, nevertheless you accept his ideas 
rather than submit to the additional expense and delay of a 
change. BENNETT BETTER-BUILT HOMES correspond 
in every detail with the actual photographs shown in this 
catalog. Should the design you select require some slight 
alterations, we shall be very glad to make such changes, if 
practical, at actual cost. 


ECONOMY IN DRAFTING 


The first of a series of savings for you starts in our draft- 
ing room. 

It is quite necessary for the architect to charge a con- 
siderable fee for his drawings, for he must pay expenses and 
a profit. The drawings for our houses are even more elaborate, 
and the first cost of production is naturally much greater. 
Yet there is this gain for you: when the drawings are once 
made, hundreds of blue prints are made from them at prac- 
tically a negligible cost. Therefore, we furnish you with 
blue prints from our drawings absolutely free of fees or of 
any charge.

fine homes. 


ECONOMY IN STANDARDIZATION 


Next we help you realize a decided saving through 
standardization of materials. 

In designing an attractive home, a professional architect 
can give little thought to standard lengths or shapes of 
material. Our Bennett Better-Built designers, however, put 
forth both thought and effort toward producing, not only an 
attractive home, but one which is economical of rough and 
finished lumber, millwork, etc. 

For instance, there are certain standard lengths and 
widths of lumber, and certain standard styles and sizes of 
windows, doors, window frames, door frames—in fact of 
every kind of millwork. Standard items can be manufac- 
tured in tremendous quantities at very low cost while special 
styles and sizes require readjustment of machinery, and the 
waste (sometimes 33 and 1-3 per cent) of standard-sized 
materials to meet special requirements. We manufacture 
such an extensive variety of styles and sizes in building 
materials of so many kinds, that an appearance as artistic 
as you may wish can easily be produced without resorting to 
the expense of special materials. 

Another important application of standardization lies 
in the spacing of windows and the like. Insofar as appearance 
is concerned, 6 inches one way or another usually makes but 
little difference in the spacing of windows. But from the 
standpoint of economy, it is decidedly better to have the 
spacing in even feet. For instance, windows spaced 12 or 14 
feet apart permit the use of 12 or 14 foot standard length 
boards, without waste; whereas, if the windows were spaced 
12’ 6” apart, it would necessitate the cutting up of a 14’ or 16’ 
board with a waste on every board that goes to make up the 
full height of the window. 


ECONOMY IN USE OF LABOR-SAVING 
MACHINERY 


By the use of gigantic, powerful machinery, we save you 
a large percentage of labor cost, and inaccuracies that always 
waste hand-cut lumber. 

The prices quoted in our catalog furnish you with material 
sufficient to complete every listed detail of the home which 
you select. In addition, it covers the cost of cutting every 


Machines sawing and resawing lumber for homes—saving hours 
and days over hand methods. 


piece of material so that when it reaches its destination, it 
is ready to nail. There will be no wasting of time waiting for 
“something forgotten that must be ordered,” waiting for 
one man to cut and fit a part before another can go ahead. 


You cannot possibly go astray, because—as we said 
before—our blue prints are thorough and complete, showing 
the exact location of each and every piece of material. It 
would not be difficult to erect the entire building with only 
the blue prints at hand. Nevertheless, to facilitate the work, 
we furnish a bill of material, itemizing each and every piece, 
and instructing where it should be placed. 


As a further safeguard against error and confusion, we 
include a set of instructions written by men who have had 
years of actual experience in constructing houses. 


ECONOMY IN CARPENTRY 


The entire time consumed by the carpenter for calcu- 
lating the best plan for framing, has been eliminated. This 
time is entirely saved, because with our Bennett Better- 
Built system, the planning is completely done in our office 
before the material is shipped, and our Special Notch System 
makes the work speedy. 


As you have watched work on a house, have you ever 
stopped to figure how very much of a workman’s time was 
spent in first measuring, then cutting, then trying and perhaps 
refitting the material—all this as against the very small 
amount of time required for fastening or nailing? Well, we 
save you all that fuss and waste by furnishing the material 
not merely cut, but cut to fit more accurately than hand 
labor ever could. 


Immediately upon receipt of your order, the blue-prints 
of the design you have selected, the bill of material and a 
set of instructions are mailed to you. At the same time, a 
duplicate bill of material is sent into our mill, with instruc- 
tions to start cutting. Within a few hours the material for 


pemett Home 


the frame of your house is completed—which means that the 
work which would have required many days of expensive 
labor on the job, is accomplished in hours by our machines— 
more economically, more accurately, many times over. 


ECONOMY IN MILLWORK 


All Bennett Better-Built doors, windows, door frames, 
window frames, door trim, window trim and mouldings are 
manufactured in quantities—therefore at a very low cost 
of production, of which you derive the benefit. Powerful 
and precise machines saw and resaw, rout stair stringers, 
mortise, and fit doors and windows, cut and shape woodwork, 
smooth and sand all sorts and sizes of lumber—with a 
quality of fine workmanship in dozen and score lots impos- 
sible by any other method. 

And remember—any saving in labor must be considered 
a double saving, because the more time required for the 
erection of your home, the longer you are paying out money 
for labor on the new and for rent where you are living. 


ECONOMY IN WATER TRANSPORTATION 
OF RAW MATERIALS 


The docks of the Ray H. Bennett Lumber Company, 
Inc., are located the best of any in North Tonawanda. You 
will realize the importance to you of location, when we tell 
you that the largest lumber steamers coming down the great 
lakes, direct from the saw mills, land at our docks. Thus we 
are enabled to take advantage of lake-steamer cargo-ship- 
ments, and save something for you. 


Thousands of doors—absolutely clear grade—knotless, and 
beautifully grained. 


less 2 


You will also appreciate that we, as buyers of cargoes 
of lumber totalling millions of feet, are entitled to a lower 
price than the buyer of a carload of lumber containing only 
about twenty thousand feet. This impresses the fact that we 
are in a position to furnish you better quality materials at 
lower prices. We handle lumber in huge quantities—our 
stock sizes are secured in big units—therefore, our goods are 
manufactured and handled at a much lower cost. 


You can easily see that our ideal location for the securing 
of our raw materials means large savings to you. We have 
enormous stocks on hand at all times and are ideally equipped 
for fast work. 


ECONOMY IN EXCEPTIONAL SHIPPING 
FACILITIES 


North Tonawanda, N. Y., where the Bennett Plant is 
located, is one of the largest lumber markets in the United 
States. This is due to the fact that North Tonawanda is a 
made-to-order center for distribution. Its shipping facilities 
are conceded to be unsurpassed in the country. Practically 
all of the great railway systems are in direct connection, 
enabling us to give you the remarkable service—the vitally 
important quick shipments—for which we are famed—in 
which we excel. 


ECONOMY IN BENNETT BULK BUYING 


We have, as yet, made little mention of our vast pur- 
chasing power, nor of the fact that you are purchasing your 
material at wholesale prices. 


We purchase, annually, many millions of feet of material 
directly from the saw mills, thereby eliminating unnecessary 
expenses and profits. We buy at rock-bottom prices, less 
all possible discounts for quantity, for prompt payment, etc.

structed frames ready for glazing.

Ready-Cut 


One of our modern Planers—helping to put the celebrated 
finish on Bennett interior woodwork. 


And then our giant purchases are brought by large lake 
steamers to our docks and unloaded directly into our yard. 
On one side our material comes in; it moves almost auto- 
matically through our yards to the cutting and finishing 
mills; it leaves them on the railroad side of our property. 
With our advantages, the cost of handling is therefore re- 
duced to a minimum which only a few of the largest estab- 
lishments can hope to equal. 


BENNETT ADVANTAGES—In a Nutshell 


1. Designs and plans proven the “‘best” of this coun- 
try’s architectural and practical experts. 


2. Elimination of architects’ and contractors’ fees. 


3. Materials from the heart of the lumber market— 
brand-new, bright stock. 


4. Saving of waste through standard sizes, lengths, 
shapes. 


5. Ready-cut, ready-to-erect features as against cut- 
and-try on the job method. 


6. Quantity production of standardized millwork. 
7. Transportation and handling charges minimized. 
8. Huge buying facilities. 


9. Services of an organization, celebrated for its finan- 
cial strength, for ability and for integrity. 


10. All-in-all a real HOME for you and yours at a 
price that represents the greatest possible value for the 
money you elect to put into it. 


N every paragraph of these specifications you will note how thoroughly 
| we have planned for strength and endurance in the construction of 
your home—how we employ only the best grades of lumber, accurately 

cut and fashioned by the most precise workmanship. 

In the first place, please understand the importance of our notched 
construction. See the photograph in the lower corner of next page. The 
frames of our houses are a great improvement over the common practice, 
both in matters of accuracy of fit, of strength and rigidity. The notch 
method is considered costlywhen done by hand labor, but it is always con- 
sidered desirable. The Bennett methods of doing by machines in minutes 
what would take hours or days bythe cut-on-the-job way, gives you extra 
quality without extra cost. 

Another thing we wish you to!note is the double and triple strength of 
joists and studding, where extra stresses are sure to be met, or absolute 


rigidity is an essential. See the three studs at the corners as shown by the 
photo of ‘‘notch” construction. 
Notice that we furnish bridging for floor joists; that our stairs are cut 
accurately, as in the best houses, instead of using mere nailed-on cleats. 
Notice how we select and match interior woods for beauty of grain— 
how we sand them so they will take a most beautiful finish. 
Notice that the outside of our houses—door and window frames, 
and siding,—is of Redwood, celebrated for its extraordinary long life, 
and so approved by the U. S. Government experts. 
Notice our hardware and such items as kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, 
medicine cabinets, even building paper, and lastly notice our double floor- 
ing for both floors. 

In every last item, Bennett Homes are truly Better-Built—all in all 
you will get a most attractive, most livable, most enduring dwelling place, 
giving you a dollar for dollar value that is unequalled in the lumber market. 


General Specifications 


DIMENSIONS 


All rooms show actual inside measurements and not 
from outside of building to center of inside partition or 
from center of partition to center of partition, as is 
sometimes given. 


PLANS 


One set is furnished with each house. They are so 
complete in detail, that if carefully followed, it is im- 
possible to go wrong. If an extra set is required, we 
will gladly furnish it upon request. Reversed plans 
will be furnished without extra cost. 


MATERIALS IN GENERAL 


All lumber for Bennett ‘‘Better-Built’” Homes is 
shipped directly from enormous stocks in our yards. It 
is all thoroughly seasoned, and guaranteed equal to or 
better than the grades specified. Thorough seasoning 
means less waste and consequently lower freight charges. 
It also means that shrinkage, bound to occur with green 
toaecateg has occurred before the lumber is cut for your 

ome.

QUANTITY OF MATERIALS 


An unqualified guarantee is contained on your 
order blank that we will furnish material to entirely 
complete your home in accordance with the following 
general specifications and with the particular specifi- 
cations contained on the individual page of photograph 
and plans. 


BASEMENT FRAMES AND SASH 


Are not included in your order unless illustration 
shows siding or shingles to the grade line, because 
these are used when the foundation is laid. We plan 
to have your material on the ground as soon as the 
foundation is finished and has had sufficient time to 
set. If we were tofurnish basement frames and sash, 
it would be necessary either to ship them by express, 
creating additional expense, or it would be necessary to 
delay the foundation work until the lumber arrived. 
We cannot see where enough benefit is derived to make 
up for this additional expense and delay. If, however. 
you decide to have us furnish them, we will ship them 
according to your instructions, 


FOUNDATION WALL PLATE OR BOND TIMBER 


2 in. x 6 in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides 
and cut to fit, furnished to lay on top of the foundation

GIRDER 


Size 6 in. x 6 in. or 6 in. x § in., (as listed under each 
design) depending upon the size house. No. 1 Hemlock, 
surfaced four sides and cut to fit. It is a well-known 
fact that a built-up timber is stronger than a solid 
timber, and is much easier to handle. We, therefore, 
furnish material cut to proper length to make a built- 
up timber. 


GIRDER POSTS 


Iron stanchions 4 in. in diameter. These posts are 
furnished in sufficient number for spacing not more than 
8 ft. apart.

houses 24 ft. or more in width. unless supported by 
intermediate partitions. For houses lesa than 24 ft. 
wide, 2 in. x 4 in. spaced 24 in. on centers. The rafters 
are all carefully laid out and cut in our mill, ready 
to use on the job. 


STUDDING 


2in. x 4in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides, all cut 
to fit. Trebled at corners of outside walls and doubled 
at sides of door and window openings where extra 
strength is required. Top plates of al! partitions and 
outside walls are double; single plates at bottom, 
Side wall plates are notched to receive the studding, 
acelebrated Bennett feature. It is impossible to set 
the studding wrong. This is an improvement over 
the ordinary method of framing. See illustration on 
opposite page. 


WALL SHEATHING 
Dressed and matched and cut to fit. This is 


another important item of Bennett quality. No. 1 
Hemlock. 


ROOF SHEATHING 

1 in. x4in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced one side, cut to 
fit. We furnish this material in quantities to allow for 
214 in. spacing, as is common practice, when shingles 
are used. In case you decide to use Asphalt Slate

sary to lay the sheathing tightly together. We furnish 
dressed and matched sheathing for this purpose at a 
slight additional cost.

Practically every home owner prefers his bathroom 
painted rather than varnished. All bathrooms in 
Bennett Better-Built Homes are especially attractive, 
owing to the fact that they are finished in white enamel 
and all hardware is furnished nickel plated. Enamel 
undercoater is furnished to cover the woodwork, two 
coats. Two coats of Bennett White Enamel] on top 
of this makes an attractive and durable surface. 
Our White Enamel Paint will not turn yellow. Putty, 
oil, sandpaper and turpentine in proper quantities to

instead of paint, shingle stain for two brush coats. We 
do not furnish stain for roof shingles, except at an 
additional cost on order. 


FOUNDATION, CHIMNEY, FIREPLACES 


Although we show on our plans, the location of 
foundation, chimney, fireplaces, etc., we do not include 
these items in our prices, nor do we carry the materials 
in stock. The express and freight charges to be met in 
shipment would offset any advantages we might offer. 
For the same reason, we do not furnish plaster. We will, 
however, gladly co-operate with our customers by 
offering suggestions or furnishing data regarding same. 


PLUMBING, HEATING AND LIGHTING 


See pages 71 and 72 for plumbing, heating and 
lighting fixtures. 

The quotations covering,the installation-of plumbing, 
heating and lighting equipment vary so much that it 
is advisable to consider each separately. 

Our Equipment Department will furnish you with 
information and estimates. 


Notches Make Assembling Easy

and fireside at the farther end; or, if you prefer. a 
triple window to give a wide view of outdoors. And— 
what’s unique—the stairway rising charmingly from 
one corner of the roomy, cheerful dining room. The 
kitchen is compact, convenient. 

And think of it—iwo airy, sizable bedrooms on the 
main floor. Yet there are two more sleeping rooms 
—one extra large—the bath, storeroom, and a linen 
closet upstairs. Notice the ample closet room, the 
coat closet, the flood of light and air possible in 
every room of this home. 

Oh! there are features in the ‘Avon’ to tell you

ested in it especially, and we will send the whole

bryant modern living, you will study the Bryant with considerable interest. 


28 ft. x 24 ft. over all 


Pere cary Ree Though of complete styling, it is unburdened with expensive “fuss and feathers.” The roof treatment is 


artistically handled on porch, dormer and sides. A shingled second story adds to the smart effect. 

A good-sized porch leads to a spacious living room, while to the right stands a gem of a dining room. Especially mark 
the stairway, closed or open as you may wish—and a distinct gain in conservation of warmth in cold weather. Off the nearby 
kitchen is a dandy storage closet. The downstairs bedroom may be as readily used for den or study. 

Upstairs there is a convenient bathroom, and two roomy sleeping chambers with extra large closets. There is the inno- 
vation of a bright sewing room—a room all for mother. 

Splendidly designed, sturdily built in every detail, you can choose the Bryant as a home that will meet your future as 
well as present needs.

Good taste is exemplified in every line of the Raymond. It has been well described as “most

24 ft. x 24 ft. over all there is a touch of genuine originality in the roof treatment around the front dormer. The roomi- 

Wee NN tas ness of the wide veranda is a harmonizing part of the generous proportions of the whole. 

A luxurious living room greets you as you enter from the vestibule. The dining room, just to the rear and on a corner, 
gladdens you with its brightness. Your attention is also called to the plentiful light provided throughout—six windows in 
the living room, three in the dining room and three in the kitchen. 

The same cheerfulness is continued in the arrangement of the three spacious bedrooms upstairs. Each sleeping room

" Some of the most artistic homes are those provided with a slightly terraced lawn, porch and first floor 
Linco ln practically at grade. The Lincoln is a strikingly attractive example of such a plan. Seemingly a part 

30 ft. x 26 ft. over all of the landscape on which it rests, it blends itself easily into all its surroundings. 

A Nace gees As you step onto the veranda, you are struck by its wide expanse—while before you an attractive 
door with little side windows holds your admiration. A hospitable fireplace commands your attention as you enter, and 
you marvel at the brightness of the whole room, for there are in reality two sides practically of glass. A very large 
opening calls your attention to a dining room made most tempting by a window seat just under triple windows. If you wish 
to retire for a quiet conversation, a bit of rest or reading, the cozy den satisfies your every wish. 

The stairway to the second floor is hidden, but ascends easily to a large halfway landing, and then reverses to the second 
story. Here you find two splendid bedrooms, each with ample closet space, and a slightly smaller room, balancing the bath- 
room on the other corner!—conveniently near which is a linen closet. 

Notice especially in the front bedrooms the casement windows opening underneath the dormer roof. Notice, too, that in 
one of these bedrooms you might easily have your upstairs fireplace. 

For the average family with tastes 
that run to homes with personality, we 
sincerely believe the Lincoln offers a 
real first choice.

Summer or winter, indoors or out, the Potomac is a place of happiness, contentment and comfort for 


Potomac any family. 


Re tche an tere It would seem that our architects have outdone themselves on the exterior of this home. ‘The over- 
a Roomennd Bath hanging second story, spacious porch and solid chimney, pattern of shingling—these features and a 
score of others speak for themselves. : 


But perhaps it is on the interior that our designers have secured the most remarkable results. The front door opens on 
a beautiful living room extending the house width, stairs at the left leading to a halfway landing. Nearby perhaps you may 
locate your broad fireplace and hearth. Graceful French doors yield from this living room upon a sunny dining room— 
that, in turn, opens upon a first-floor bedroom, and, through a double swinging door, the nicely ordered kitchen. 


Note well that adjoining four-windowed breakfast room. Picture the youngsters and yourselves seated at its sun- 
flooded table upon its built-in seats, starting the day aright 
in its cozy, cheery atmosphere. 


Underneath the broad sloping roof are three most attrac- 
tive bedrooms. There are two large closets and a ward- 
robe, and the bath is easily reached from any sleeping 
room. 


The Potomac is indeed a home you will like living in— 
beauty, utility, endurance to delight you for years to come.

26 ft. x 24 ft. over all a neat and artistic contrast with the darker tones of the shingled body of the house.

Selassie The porch is one of those all-embracing verandas, broad enough for the whole family 


and their friends. Living and dining room are each amply proportioned, with wide opening between, making large space 
available for dances, parties, and such affairs. The downstairs bedroom might just as well be a den, study or private office, 
if preferred. 

The second floor sleeping quarters are well lighted, with the opportunity for cozy window corners under the dormer. 
Placing an enclosed stairway at the rear of the house is a fortunate departure in a home of this size, from the accustomed 
practice—just one more example of the all-around distinctiveness of this appealing home. 

One man who has built many homes and sold them, runs to the New Hartford as his “best bet.” You, too, will find

The interior is cheerful and homelike. The living room and dining room, connected by a wide 
cased opening, may be used as one on occasions. A grade entrance is included in the rear, so that the basement may be reached 
from outdoors without passing through the kitchen. Note, too, the refrigerator may be iced from outdoors.

alcove provides a sewing room or a 
child’s bedroom.

your wishes realized. Toward the front is the dining room, light and cheerful, with roomy kitchen right behind. On the other 
side two bedrooms—two windows apiece!—and bathroom between. 

But perhaps you would prefer the bedrooms at the back, and closets instead of wardrobes; perhaps you like a practical 
extension to the kitchen which you have in the back room with its cool place for ice box and its covered way to the cellar— 
all this and more you will find in “B.”

There are many conveniences—the large kitchen cabinet, broom closet, the ease of access to all rooms. 


Every bedroom on the second floor possesses two windows and a closet. 


There’s delight upon entering the convenient central hall, to find each room big, airy, inviting. 
You peep into the living room to spy casement windows upon either side of a fireplace.

Could you peep through the walls of this Colonial home, you would find yourself regarding an 
interior as charming as the exterior is picturesque. 
But step through that unique latticed entrance and see the house-deep living room—with its 
hospitable fireplace and casement windows, with nooks for bookcases or built-in seats, and 


captivating French doors. And what a comfortable lounging place the side veranda furnishes! 
French doors upstairs, too, give access from bedrooms to balcony. Note the clever touch in the broken roof lines, 
increasing the size of the bedrooms—better yet, veritable sunrooms. 


Be assured this remarkably beautiful home, built the Bennett-Way, is a real dividend-paying investment in beauty, 


comfort and convenience.

Gentlemen:—Thank you very much for 
the honest deal. Everything is okay. 


Many were sure that I would not get 


what I ordered, but they were much mis- 
taken. They have seen my lumber and 
say it is fine, and a number of persons 
thinking of building said they are going 
to get their lumber from you.

Janis commodious bedrooms and bath upstairs.

x . 


over all trimmings secure an approval for the exterior appearance which is turned to enthusiasm by the attractive 
8 Rooms and rooms within. 
Bath 


One can picture real hospitality in the Janis. The broad, cheerful porch is a fitting introduction to the 
bright, spacious living room with its welcoming fireplace. The reception hall is an appreciated convenience. French doors 
between reception hall and living room, and between this last and the dining room add remarkably to the home’s smart 
interior. The dining room has a bay with a tasty window seat. The kitchen is about the same “just right” place as in 
all our plans. There’s a convenient lavatory, too. 

The Janis has a well-modeled second floor arrangement. The bedrooms are large-sized and amply proportioned with 
good light. Three of them are corner rooms. 

Choose this home for its ever-attractive 
styling, the economy of its floor plans, the 
unique features of its interior—and you 
will have purchased a thing of permanent 
pleasure and profit.

Perhaps the first unique thing you notice are the seats at either side of the doorway—then the quaint 
Colonial door with its narrow side windows. As the door swings back you are welcomed, through French doors, to a magnif- 
icent living room, fireplace at the farther end, and built-in bookcases underneath pretty casement windows. Through the door 


or window at the right of the room you spy the privacy of a well-sheltered porch. 

Just in front of you the stairway leads straight to the second story. Through another pair of French doors, you note 
the dining room. At the rear of the hall is a convenient lavatory and underneath the stairs a very useful coat closet. 

As you notice the corner location of each bedroom, and the large closets in each, stop a passing minute in the rear bed- 
room at the right to see that you may have a fireplace here, too.

24ft.x26ft.  Lhere is a prosperous, substantial appearance to this home. It is free from elaboration—yet full of the 


over all spice of style. The extending roof with its distinctive dormer, the shingled upper story, the wide expanse 
Drees of porch, the solid type of porch pillars—everything bears out the impression that here live people of a most 


desirable, American type. The first room inside is a reception hall, serving the purpose of receiving the 

casual caller, and of providing the place from whence a simple stairway winds toward the upstairs. The living room is a 

square one with five windows to guarantee a flood of light. From here a colonnade-opening leads to the dining room on 

one of the back corners of the house. This room is also bright with light. The kitchen is the usual compact and complete 
Bennett arrangement. There is a passageway from the kitchen to the front hall.

maining details that combine to make the 
Rochester a home of great popularity.

Charm has been our watchword in the creation of the Rochester—a charming exterior as well as a 
charming room arrangement. A house of modest proportions at moderate cost has been attained 
without sacrificing either inside or outside attractiveness. 

The sloping roof lines blend in gracefully with the shingled walls and the veranda. Entering the 
home, one finds a living room indeed luxurious for a home of this size. A dandy dining room and the usual kitchen, together 
with a secluded den, complete the first floor layout.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN 


The Dover is a splendid example of how the all-on-one-floor bungalow home can luxuriously and com- 
fortably house a large family. 


In appearance, this home is ideally balanced. Graceful roof lines blend into its shingled sides. Porch pillars 
carry through the idea of substantiality. Overhanging eaves give the final touch to the bungalow theme. 


Let us analyze the Dover from the viewpoint of solid comfort. The twenty-six foot porch promises plenty of outdoor 
comfort and air. The living room provides space for not only the whole family but several guests in addition. The dining 
room is large enough to accommodate a holiday dinner party. In case of larger entertainments, the two rooms can practically 
be opened into one. The three bedrooms suffice for a family of five or six—or with less people, a guest room is available.

There’s a kitchen ample for all needs. 

You may have noticed where you can 
build a fireplace in the living room. That 
bay in the dining room you can plan for 
flowers and plants, or just a cozy cush- 
ioned seat. You have made a note of 
that celebrated step-saver, the kitchen 
cabinet. Did you see the closets for each 
sleeping room? But, most of all, we know 
you are thinking of how wonderful it will 
be with no upstairs to care for, heat or 
pay for. 

If it’s a bungalow home that meets 
your fondest wishes, and the Dover 
satisfies your needs, then we can assure 
you that it will be ideal.

Gentlemen:— 


Our new Dover is now completed and is 
proving satisfactory in every way. All of 
the material you furnished us is fine, espe- 
cially the interior trim, doors and floors. 
There have been a large number of people 
watching the construction of our house and 
you should have been here and heard the 
many favorable comments on the quality of 
material and how perfect everything went 
together. Our friends tell us we have the 
prettiest house on Main Street. I am so 
well pleased with my house and the treat- 
ment received from your firm that I will 
gladly show it to anyone interested. 


Expect to build two more houses in the 
Spring, and you may be sure they will be 
Bennett Better-Built Homes. 


Wishing you every success, I am, 


Yours truly, 
Mrs. F. A.

But some families desire a bit different 
arrangement, a separate dining room, and 
a bath. There you find it in plan “B”— 
with a closed back entry thrown in for 
good measure. And notice the sheltered 
porch, whichever plan you favor. 

If the Maidstone fills your needs, the

be as great as your surprise at its low cost.

Simplicity is in the keynote of this cottage home—a simplicity, however, enriched by clever lines of 


roof, porch and whole-house architecture. 
Plan “A” provides for a moderate-sized family—a cheerful, roomy living room, rather good-sized 


dining room and a compact, convenient kitchen.

and, of course, there is the very necessary 
bath. 

In “B” there’s an additional bedroom 
for the family of larger numbers. In 
addition there are closets off the sleeping 
rooms. The kitchen and bath are differ- 
ently located—the dining room is slightly 
increased to accommodate the larger 
number of persons. 

You will agree, we are confident, that

The one best way to prove a home’s worth is by the testimony of those who have lived in it. By 
Kenmore such people the Kenmore is classified as a “snug, perfect little place.” 
We need not dwell at length on the exterior, for you can see what goes to make it up. 
The interior is as easy to understand, too. The living room is of unusual size for such a kind of 
home. The single bedroom has light and air from two sides, and to save extra cost, we included our 
wardrobe clothes closet. In the kitchen, again to save extra cost, we have included our cabinet. 
In Plan “B,” we have provided an extra bedroom and quite sizeable closets, leaving the living room with space aplenty,

Delaware Here’s a cottage bidding for your favor not merely because of its modest building cost, but also 


because of unique beauty and balance of design—nothing overdone, and nothing forgotten. 
Notice how this compact little home invites approval with its graceful overhanging eaves, the 
individuality of its half-siding and half-shingle exterior, and its broad, roomy porch. 

And inside! Two rooms on the front—both the large living room and the cozy dining room! In Plan “A” notice espe- 
cially the well-located pantry; and the hall giving privacy to bedrooms and bath. In Plan “B” see that convenient bathroom 
arrangement, and the kitchen made roomier, the pantry room cared for in this plan by one of our efficient kitchen cabinets. 

In both plans you find the same serviceable refrigerator location, and side and back entrance combined in one—with the 
cellar easily reached by a few steps: 

Comparing all—where can you find

the harmony of roof lines; the extending and protecting eaves, with rafter ends just showing here and 


there. And if you like them better, shingled side walls in soft-toned colors might be used, certainly with no loss of effect. 

Perhaps a most striking feature of the interior is its large inviting living room, with a truly pleasant dining room just 
to the right—a wide opening between, a decided advantage when entertaining. And do not overlook the kitchen’s easy 
access to cellar, to entry and sheltered back porch. The lady of the home will be glad to see that handy linen closet; to

What more of convenience, of roomy compactness could be asked in this home—what better dollar-for-dollar value.

Concord 


20 ft. x 30 ft. over all 
5 Rooms and Bath 


Beyond the rather striking economy which we believe 
you find in purchasing your home the Bennett-Way, there 
is considerable increased worth both in the appearance 
and in the quality of material that we send you to put into 


your home—the Concord is fully up to Bennett standards. To its rather simple 
proportions has been added an overhanging, bracketed roof, and a snug porch. 


Imler, Pa., May 19, 1919 
Gentlemen :— 


I am more than pleased with your 
company. I saved 30%, and the mate- 
rials were far better than I could have 
bought elsewhere, and even better than 
represented. 

Yours truly,

Gentlemen :— 

My lumber is unloaded and all 
okay. I am very much satisfied with 
your dealings with me. I was ina hurry 
and I thank you much for the prompt 
delivery. 


Yours very truly, 


INy AE; 


The pattern of the window sash and 
frames and the shingled sides also add 
their bit to this comfortable looking little 
home. The floor plan itself speaks for 
the interior of the home. But let’s call 
your particular attention to the rather 
generous closet space off both bedrooms, 
the well-lighted and well-aired rooms, the 
convenient kitchen cabinet—all contained 
in the modest proportions of 20 ft. by 
SOIC 

We believe the selling price of the 
Concord is quite in keeping with the most 
efficient home economy ideas. Certain it 
is that from other owner’s experiences, 
we can guarantee enduring and entire 
satisfaction with the Concord, if it is 
your choice.

expense it may be screened and converted into a comfortable out-of-door room.

The beauty and charm of this comfortable bungalow are instantly appreciated by every true home 

Yi aU erly lover. It is a masterpiece in bungalow architecture. See the low sloped roof, wide bracketed eaves, 
Drees ttl over all grouped windows, built-up rail, shingled side walls, a true California bungalow and a favorite in 

5 Rooms and Bath that country which has become a model for all the world. The front porch is an unusually pretty 
feature. What an attractive departure the balusters and timbered effect are from the usual combina- 

tion of rail and balusters. The bay window is just what is needed to break up the wall space and adds greatly to the 
general pleasing effect. Picture this bungalow on your lot, side walls stained a light seal brown, moss green for the roof, with 
pure white trimming, shrubbery nestled along the front and corners of the porch. Wouldn’t you be proud to say “This is 
my home”? Often an attractive exterior will be found to conceal a poor arrange- 
ment of rooms. This is not the case with the Waverly. Careful attention has been 
given to details and we believe that every housewife will appreciate the excellent 
floor plan arrangement. You enter direct from the porch into one of the prettiest 
Er ia living rooms you have ever seen. Triple windows in front and side are among the 
attractive features of this room, allowing worlds of sunshine and cheer to enter, but 
still leaving plenty of wall space for furniture. The high casement windows in the 
end were separated purposely to provide a place for your piano. The well-lighted 
dining room is separated from the living room by an attractive colonnade arch. 
The kitchen is conveniently located for serving and for easy access to the grade 
cellar entrance. Bedrooms and bath open into an interior hall which makes these

Ontario Can you imagine a more pleasing and homelike design than the Ontario at such a moderate cost? 

Great care was used to secure this attractive, harmonious exterior and still retain the exceptionally 
convenient and practical arrangement of rooms. The front porch with its large tapering columns, 
wide overhanging bracketed eaves and roof dormer at side, all serve to give this design a distinct 
individuality. The vestibule and coat closet will be found a desirable arrangement. ‘The living room and dining room 
are made especially attractive with triple windows, having an extra wide cased opening between the living room and the 
dining room, making this practically one room—a feature desired by many. The kitchen is of a convenient size and well 
lighted. Our kitchen cupboard No. 2 is a part of the finish in this room and is supplied as a part of the equipment. The 
grade entrance is another added convenience. A large storage space is provided for in the attic, attic stairs and flooring

One of our most attractive front doors, the “Saranac”, and the latest style of panel sash are furnished with this design. 


The living room, bedrooms and kitchen are expertly arranged to secure the greatest amount of comfort and convenience. 
If a basement is desired, an enclosed cellar addition may be added at rear in place of the stoop, at small cost. Notice that 


each room has two windows, thus insuring perfect ventilation. 


Two roomy closets give ample space for clothes. Either living room or kitchen is sufficiently large to be used also as a

Gentlemen:— — 


Please send catalogue to enclosed list. 
These people are all thinking of building and 
have shown great interest in my Ilion. 

From the favorable comments I hear con- 
cerning my house you should be able to stir 
up some business here. 

I am making good progress with my house, 
The stuff goes together like a charm.

satisfactory that he has since placed an order 
for the Potomac.)

Ma LSON medium size and still give comfortably large rooms. Notice how well the rooms are arranged to 
24 ft. x 28 ft. over all utilize every inch of space. This hospitable front porch will be appreciated during the summer 
8 Rooms and Bath when at a little expense, it may be screened and converted into a comfortable out-of-door room. The 
enclosed porch balustrade with its added seclusion is a very desirable feature in a house set close to the street. 

The reception hall in this home is an unusually attractive and cozy apartment with its broad staircase and pretty land- 
ing. A wide-cased arch leads into the comfortable living room. It is not necessary to crowd your furniture in this room or 
set it at an angle, for there is plenty of wall space for the largest pieces. You will like the beautiful, well-lighted dining room 
with its built-in window-seat and grouped windows. See how nicely you can arrange your buffet, serving table and china 

cabinet and still have plenty of wall space for chairs. 
Every housewife will appreciate the thought we have 
given in designing the kitchen. See howconveniently 
you can arrange your equipment to save unnecessary 
steps. The range at the inside wall, the sink and 
work tables in front of windows, your large kitchen 
~ {| cabinet placed just right. Notice the convenience in 
the icebox arrangement, only a step or two from the

well lighted with plenty of closet space. The bath is 
within easy reach of all bedrooms as well as the stairs.
